I gave this to ChatGPT and here's the answer: What you’re describing is a **data flow animation** where: * arrows define the path * small dots move along the path to simulate “information flow” Let’s break down exactly how to create this. --- # 🎯 The key concept behind this animation Think of it like a road system: * **Arrow = road** * **Dot = car** * **Animation = car driving along the road** So instead of animating the arrow itself, you animate an object *along a path*. --- # 🧰 Best tool for this specific effect * Adobe After Effects 👉 This is the industry standard for exactly this type of animation. --- # 🔥 How to do it in After Effects (step by step) This is the cleanest and most flexible method. --- ## 1. Create your path (the arrow line) * Use the **Pen Tool** * Draw a curved or straight line between modules * Add a stroke * Optional: add arrowhead at the end --- ## 2. Add the moving dot * Create a small circle (shape layer) * This will be your “data packet” --- ## 3. Animate the dot along the path This is the key step: 1. Select the path 2. Copy the path (Ctrl/Cmd + C) 3. Select the dot layer 4. Press **P** (position) 5. Paste the path 👉 The dot will now follow the exact line --- ## 4. Make it loop smoothly * Add expression: ``` loopOut() ``` * Or manually repeat keyframes --- ## 5. Optional: multiple dots (flow effect) * Duplicate the dot layer several times * Offset their timing slightly 👉 This creates a “stream” of moving data --- ## 6. Optional: glowing or pulsing effect * Add: * Glow effect * Slight scale animation * Opacity fade in/out This makes it feel more alive --- # ✨ Alternative method inside After Effects (even cleaner) Use **Trim Paths**: * Apply “Trim Paths” to the line * Animate the **End** property from 0% to 100% 👉 This creates a “drawing line” effect 👉 Combine with moving dots for extra polish --- # 💡 Pro tips to make it look high-end ### 1. Use easing Avoid linear motion Use **ease in/out** for natural movement

@Gnaneshwari P , you're so very welcome. That would be great, I would also look forward to such an AI tool.

I am also interested in this topic.

Congratulations @Mohamed Jahar 🎉🍾🎊. That’s amazing 🤩

Hey @Joseph S. Kahn welcome! I see you're already level 3

@Joseph S. Kahn we sure do *lol*

Me too 😊
